When a document opens or is reverted with dimensions whose art is not in
its color mode, the dimensions are drawn again before the document's
composite fonts are registered. A label whose font names a composite font
that another open document defines differently was measured in that other
definition, so it was centered off its anchor. The redraw now measures the
labels in the document's own composite fonts, in front and in the back.
A gradient's Separation or DeviceN space, and EPS's %%DocumentCustomColors,
named the spot ink of every linked stop. A stop out of order whose
neighboring stretches have no width, a stop at a tint of 0 without process
plates, and in PDF a stop whose stretches are fully transparent print no
ink, but their spot inks were still declared, so separations got an empty
plate.
- vectorcraft-color: Gradient::drawn_stops (the rule Document Info uses,
moved here) and Gradient::reached_stops (every stop taken as opaque).
- PDF: Separation and DeviceN shadings, the Perceptual spot shadings and
the spot-image warning name only inks of drawn stops at a tint above 0
or with process plates; other stops are written with no ink, so their
process inks and RGB or Lab colors no longer shape the space either.
- EPS: the same with reached stops, since EPS writes stops opaque; a
transparent spot stop keeps its ink.
Output is unchanged when every stop colors part of the gradient and every
spot stop has a tint above 0 or process plates.
Place, Open and relink read a CMYK or grayscale TIFF with an alpha
channel through extra_samples_tiff_rgba, which cut every 16-bit sample
to its high byte before converting it. A faint ink or a low alpha was
lost: cyan 129 at full alpha showed as white, and an alpha of 129
became fully transparent.
The samples are now normalized at the depth the file stores them, and
only the resulting color and alpha are rounded to 8 bits (a 16-bit
alpha to the nearest 8-bit value). Associated alpha is divided out at
16 bits. A pixel whose associated alpha is zero now has no color,
instead of keeping its stored color. TIFF 6.0's Associated Alpha
Handling section states this arithmetic and the zero-alpha rule for
RGB data; applying them to CMYK and gray samples is VectorCraft's own
rule.
graphicStyle.new linked the object it was made from, the art of a column
or marker design in a graph series included, and graphicStyle.redefine
gave the new look to every object still linked to the style. Redefining
the style from another object then restyled that art, which the graph
draws again from the design.
- graphicStyle.new makes a style from the art without linking it.
- graphicStyle.redefine leaves the art's look as it was and unlinks it,
as an edited object is, whether the art is a linked object (as in a
document saved before this change) or the source.
Docs: docs/mcp.md, the params text of graphicStyle.new and
graphicStyle.redefine.
A graph keeps paints for its series and labels, and character and
paragraph style names for its labels, which each redraw gives the
marks and labels. Copy did not follow them, so a graph pasted into
another document left those swatches and styles behind, and a paste
that renamed them left the graph pointing at the old names.
Copy now collects them and paste relinks them, as it does for type.
Paste without Formatting drops the labels' style names, so it still
leaves text styles behind.
A raster effect (Drop Shadow, Outer Glow, Gaussian Blur and the other
effects that paint pixels) on a symbol instance's topmost fill now draws
on each filled shape of the symbol's art, and one on its topmost stroke
draws on each stroked shape, after any geometry effects listed before
it. The same rules as for geometry effects apply: only a visible fill or
stroke with an opacity above 0 counts, a group's own fills and strokes
in the art take the effect, and an instance inside the art passes it on.
The canvas, Use Preview Bounds and the drawn bounds, SVG and PDF export
draw it, and Object > Expand Appearance is enabled for such an instance:
a shadow or glow becomes an image under the instance, and a blur,
feather or inner glow replaces it with the image, in one undo step.
Existing documents with a raster effect on a symbol instance's fill or
stroke draw differently: before, the effect drew nothing.
Character panel > Tsume, shown with Show East Asian Options, takes away a
percentage of the blank space on each side of a character's ink, inside
its own width, in horizontal type. The value is from 0 to 100, 0 by
default. 50 halves that space and 100 sets the ink against the
characters before and after it; the glyph keeps its shape. A character
without ink, such as a space, keeps its width, and a ligature or a
letter with its marks takes the value of its first character. The
font's pair kerning, tracking, manual kerning and Insert Aki are added
after it, and justification keeps it. Vertical type keeps its spacing.
- text.setFormat and text.setRangeStyle take `tsume`; a value that is
not a number or is outside 0 to 100 is refused, naming the key.
Character styles carry it, and a file holding a value outside the
range opens with the nearer end.
- The Character panel's Tsume field has 0, 25, 50, 75 and 100 in its
menu, and Reset Panel sets it to 0. Character Style Options shows it
in Advanced Character Formats.
- Live SVG text places each character Tsume moves, and type on a path
with Tsume is written as outlines.

document.exportSelection run with no params or {} (a shortcut, or an
automation call) wrote the picked file straight away with each format's
defaults: a PDF used the default preset, so Save PDF's options, such as
writing long pages in points, could not be chosen. It now takes Export
As's route after the save panel: Save PDF without its Artboards
section, SVG Options without its artboards, the raster options, EPS
Options, DXF Options, Text Export Options with Selection Only on, or an
exporter plug-in's parameters. OK writes the selection alone, cropped
to it, with the chosen options. While a dialog is open the call returns
null, and OK returns what file.exportAs returns, without format or
bounds.
With a path or any option it still writes straight away.
- file.exportAs takes exportSelection: true and then writes the
document that document.exportSelection writes
(fileio::selection_doc), without artboard choices. The options
dialogs and the replace-file questions pass it on.
- Nothing selected stops before the save panel.
- SVG Options opened by Export Selection leaves the remembered Use
Artboards as it was.
- Exports through file.exportAs (Export As and the options dialogs)
apply Appearance of Black's rich black, as document.export does.
Docs: docs/mcp.md, docs/control-protocol.md, docs/target-app-parity.md.
The script module docs, the script.run params text and the evidence line now
say that $.fileName in code that eval or Function compiled gives the file
being run, and the params text says that the empty name applies to code
compiled from a script given as text.
When links.update or links.relink re-read a DCS file and Placement
Options also clipped the image (Fill with Clip, or an aspect change
that overflows), the placement rectangle replaced the file's clipping
path, so plate art outside that path showed and printed.
The file's clip group now stays around the image and the placement's
clip goes in a clip group around it. The clip group holding just the
file's group takes that clip, as one holding just an image does today,
else a new one does, so later updates reuse the same two groups. A
file that loses its clipping path leaves its group as a plain group
inside the placement's clip. The same applies in symbols, graph
designs, patterns and opacity masks.
